Clean sheets

3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 98.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).

Watch points

Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 34.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~34), then tapers with age. At 34, Coufal sits on 10.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Coufal's projected Rating — 34.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
